<p>Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt tweeted out a quick image today of a new shoe that Nike will be releasing with his name on it.</p>
<p><img title="View image on Twitter" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BK6OXSKCMAECrv4.jpg" alt="View image on Twitter" width="375" height="375" data-src-2x="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BK6OXSKCMAECrv4.jpg:large" /></p>
<p>The back of the shoe reads &#8220;Mega Watt&#8221; with Watt&#8217;s name printed on the front. It&#8217;s unclear when they will be released, and for how much, but it shouldn&#8217;t be too far away.</p>
<p>In other news, DeAndre Hopkins threw out the first pitch of the Houston Astros game against the Kansas City Royals. The Astros even had a special jersey made up with the name &#8220;Nuk&#8221; on the back.</p>

<p>Day two of the Houston Texans&#8217; OTA&#8217;s flew by on Tuesday, with a few headlines emerging.</p>
<p>One of the biggest was Houston&#8217;s successful Super Bowl bid ahead of 2017, but outside of that, cornerback Brandon Harris had a rough collision with DeAndre Hopkins in what is supposed to be a &#8216;light practice&#8217; at this point in the offseason. Meanwhile, Case Keenum is hot on the heels of T.J. Yates for the backup spot.</p>
<p>The Houston Chronicle has the details on Harris&#8217; collision,<a href="http://blog.chron.com/ultimatetexans/2013/05/texans-evaluating-cb-brandon-harris-after-collision-with-wr-deandre-hopkins/"> he looks to be fine but is still being evaluated</a>.</p>
<p>Andre Johnson hopes he&#8217;s <a href="http://blog.chron.com/ultimatetexans/2013/05/andre-johnson-hopes-hes-still-playing-when-super-bowl-comes-to-town/">still playing by Super Bowl LI</a>. It&#8217;s a tough ask since some dont even bother to include him in the league&#8217;s top five receivers anymore. Johnson is 31, and still posting big time stats though.</p>
<p>Brooks Reed lined up at linebacker yesterday during OTA&#8217;s, according to the Texans&#8217; official site. If you aren&#8217;t excited to see what Brian Cushing, Whitney Mercilus, Daryl Sharpton and Reed can produce in 2013 (or even in training camp), there&#8217;s something wrong with you.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always been into collecting baseball cards, but never football. If you are into the latter however, DeAndre Hopkins <a href="http://www.stateofthetexans.com/hopkins-takes-part-in-topps-nflpa-rookie-premiere/">posed with 35 other rookies </a>in Los Angeles a few days ago to join the long list of faces on Topps.</p>
<p>State of the Texans also has a great breakdown of the day two&#8217;s OTA&#8217;s <a href="http://www.stateofthetexans.com/texans-otas-day-two-recap/">here.</a></p>

<p>The Houston Texans may have captured their long sought after Super Bowl ring by the time 2017 roles around, but if not, there&#8217;s a chance we could see them play at home in Houston if luck comes their way.</p>
<p>After weeks of back and forth argument between Miami fans, Houston won its Super Bowl LI bid on Tuesday, and will play host the year after San Francisco shows off its new eight figure stadium stadium. A Super Bowl in the Bay Area will be a sight in its own right, but Houston&#8217;s successful bid sent a harsh message to Miami &#8211; one that will require a lot of moolah and a flashy new arena if they ever want to see the big game in tunatown again.</p>
<p>Back in Texas, 2017 will mark Houston&#8217;s third hosting duties, having held Super Bowl XXXVIII between the Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots in 2004.</p>
<p>By 2017, DeAndre Hopkins should be a 1,000-yard receiver, Arian Foster will be 31, J.J. Watt will probably have sacked every quarterback in the league, and who knows where Matt Schaub might be.</p>
<p>It definitely could be Battle Red&#8217;s year, so better start saving.</p>
